A recipe for Shredded Beef Taquitos with Grilled Corn Salsa and Creamy Guacamole. An easy Mexican food recipe for a crowd.
Happy Monday! hope all you mama’s out there had a great Mother’s Day spent doing whatever you want with whoever you please. I spent it making lunch for my parents and accidentally completely overcooking chicken in the Instant Pot. Thankfully I also made a ham because otherwise I would’ve been the girl who served brick chicken to her Mom on Mother’s Day. But per usual, my Mom was gracious and loving and just happy to eat some brick chicken and ham. Mom’s are just the best.
Then I watched the Ducks game and thankfully they won! Yesterday my Dad mentioned that he always records live sports because he doesn’t want to watch if the team he likes loses, so he will record it and if they win, he will watch it because then he never has to experience the nerve racking heart pumping anxiety that comes in the third period with a one goal lead. Like Father like Daughter.
In other news, these Shredded Beef Taquitos are delicious. Some friends came over the other day to watch the NHL playoffs so I made Pink Grapefruit Margaritas and a big batch of Shredded Beef in the Instant Pot and then we whipped up these taquitos. PS they’re delicious. A texture lovers dream, crispy tortilla, creamy guac, corn salsa, cheese. V v good.
What’s everyone doing for dinner, right? I’ve been cooking so much lately! And mostly loving it. But then sometimes I get tired and just eat cheese and crackers for dinner haha #reallife
But tonight we’re going to teppan for a birthday celebration! So I’m looking forward to a relaxing dinner. Perfect for Monday!
Hope everyone has a great week xx
